本版《粮食及农业状况 2015》指出，当社 会保护措施与更广义的农业及农村发展 措施相互结合时，它将有助于打破农村贫 困和脆弱性的恶性循环

全球约有44%至57%的温室气体（GHGs）排放来自粮食系统，其中农业和由农业造成的森林砍伐占到了26%到33%，这让农业成了造成气候变化的主要因素。化肥是这些危险气体的主要来源。中国是世界上化肥使用量最多的国家，约占目前全球化肥使用总量的三分之一，其中大多数是以煤为原料的氮肥。在中国，普通农民平均每公顷土地施用化肥超过600千克。在巴西和美国，化肥的使用也是一个日益严重的问题，但中国的平均化肥施用量却是巴西平均值的三倍还多，几乎达到美国的五倍。此外，中国农民给小麦和水稻作物施的化肥仅三分之一被植株吸收，其余都进入了河流和大气之中。

当前，空前的多重压力正在敦促着粮食和农业系统（种植业，畜牧业，林业以及水产养殖）进行调整与革新。

今天，众多发展中国家在度处于饥饿阴霾的笼罩之下，营养不足人口数已上升至10亿人，占全球总人口的六分之一。国际社会还面临着全球经济衰退， 贸易投资缩水，自然资源枯竭和气候变化等严峻挑战。在传统性别观念根深蒂的影响下， 妇女不能充分参与决策社会经济发展, 导我们无法克服上述挑战。全球农村贫困人口的绝大多数是妇女， 他们在家务劳动和农业生产活动中的辛苦付出大多得不到酬劳， 在客观上导致整个社会对其贡献缺乏认知。 妇女在很多方面获得的资源都少雨男性，例如土地所有权、金融服、培训和其他有助于促进农业生产、农户增收几改善健康营养状况的方法。经济衰退和食品价格涨尤其对妇女及由女性支撑的家庭产生位巨大的影响。两性在社会和经济上的不平等粮食安全和农业经济增长和发胀构成障碍。 为此，在粮农组织新的战略框架下，农村地区两性平等获得资源、产品、服务及参与决策的问题已成为未来10年本组织的主要目标之一。 性别平等问题对于落实2009年11月在罗马举行的世界粮食安全首胸会议决议将是至关重要的。通过将性别公平作为主流观念纳入所有农业和农村发展计划，粮农组织将进一步提高对成员国支持的成效， 从而实现保障性别平等， 消除饥饿与贫困， 确保人人享有粮食安全等重要目标。

食品法典委员会是一个政府间机构， 拥有170多个成员， 处于联合国粮食及农业组织与世界卫生组织创建的粮农组织/世卫组织联合食品标准计划的框架之下， 其宗旨是保障消费者的健康， 确保公平的食品贸易行为。 委员会也致力于促进办凋政府间和非政府间国际组织开展的各种食品标准工作。《食品法典》是委员会的工作成果：汇集了国际上采用的食品标准、准则、规茫以及其他建议。 本出版物中的内容是《食品法典》的组成

Many countries have integrated agroforestry into their sustain-able development policies, particularly in Southeast Asia.
